1990 20ft Gambler ??

Can anyone tell me anything about these hulls? Found one I can pick up for a good price. And what would this boat be worth with a 200 mercury on it new seats and carpet & all pumps? sits on a tandem trailer that's in great shape. Will this hull hit the 70mph mark as I am told?? gratefully for any info thanks Franklin.

I don't think gambler hulls have changed much through the years. They are a fast boat but a pain to load on the trailer (or at least the 2 my brother had owned have been). That should me capable of 70 mph but will have to be set up spot on.

As far as what it's worth... it's almost 25 years old. The carpet and seats will help the value some. But its hard to say... I think my brother paid 9 for his 2000.

NADA puts it between $4000 and $5000 figuring the motor and trailer are '90 as well and in good condition. I don't have that much experience with hulls and motors. The dry weight of the boat is listed as 1500 lbs. -Jim

Mine is a 94 193 with a 99 merc 200 and original trailer and I gave 5000 for it now it is kinda beat up due to the local waters I've had to put some money into it also as the trolling motor was about to fall off it was so wore out and issues with switches now it runs 69.9 gps and runs it strong every time I put it in the water but for the life of me I can't get the 70 out of it though

Thanks guys.. I am going to look at the hull today if it is nice I will pick it up.

Does it have any accessories? Or just the boat? Obviously that would make a huge difference.

I went and looked at the boat. It was more of a project than what I wanted.
